install

just bought a brand new ultra mount pro 7'6" will be going on my 05 f-250, me and a buddy are doing the install just wondering if there is anything i need to watch out for or any advice i could get, im thinking the hardest part will be the wiring? any input would be great

the wiring is actually pretty easy, its vehicle specific so it goes smoothly.

just go by the book, glance through the whole install process first.
do the truck install first, I did my plow assembly first and took a guess as to the height of the plow, luckily I was right and did not have to take it apart and adjust it after.

I found a unibit went right through the frame rails, I tried this after it took about 5 minutes to get one hole drilled. Unibit blasted right through like it was nothing.

make sure you have some large sockets and wrenches, I had to dig some sockets and wrenches out of the toolbox that I have not used in quite some time.

Other then that the basics- some anti-seize on the bolts, lay out all the parts and hardware, take time to route the wiring neatly and away from anything that might cause a problem, etc...

I also found a nice handy dandy removable plastic "panel" on the driverside firewall that I could drill through and route the wires into the cabin. That was a relief because I really did not want to make a hole in the firewall and put a grommet. Puts your wires right where you need them too.

8 hours??? haha took me and my buddy about 5 to complete, only thing the people didnt send mewas my battery cable on the plow side, that sucked i luckily found one this morning at the local dealer, as it was packed cause the white death should hit us soon, i'm praying for a good snow!
Liny thanks for your help you did help out alot, everything was easy till we had to mount the mount under the truck, that ws time consuming
